/// Stańczyk worked for three Kings of the Poles.
As Court Jester he had dual goals.
One: Spread laughter and joy.
Two: Stay in King’s employ.
No guffaws? He’s raked over the coals!
/// He’d used puppets in Court Jester’s School,
and built these as a laugh-making tool.
Their detail was unmatched
but, with no strings attached,
he got fired. Now he’s nobody’s fool.
(Apologies to Sylvia Fine Kaye.)
